What happened to this site?

First of all the site locked up last night and wouldn't respond. Then at various times there have been 404 Not Found (on the index page, along with a 404 on the ErrorDocument) and Connection Refused.

Now it's back and running again (fingers crossed). What happened?

Yep - it enabled me to:

Cook a classic 14 course French meal
Watch 3 movies
Read a book - cover to cover
but best of all bought a 50mm f/1.4 Ais lens for $123.50

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I actually spent a Saturday night with the family and watched a movie, got a coffee from Gloria Jeans...I just hope that they don't expect that every Saturday night.

Wow, someone's had a busy night... :shock:

I've been watching the drama on dreamhoststatus.com, looks like those guys need to invest in redundant infrastructure. I thought they were one of the top hosting companies out there...

Cheers
Steffen.

Thank god, I thought it was just internet explorer 7 beta.

Certainly not many posts this morning. :(

Might have to talk to the wife now.

I spent the day shooting eggs, and for the first time ever, I managed to fill a 1Gb card in one sitting. In the end I still only had 5 shots to choose from. :oops:

As already noted, it was a severe hardware failure.

Not much we can do about that from here, I'm afraid
